The Toboggan Slide

If there is to be tOboggan slide
this winter something must be done.
The first difficulty to be overcome is
a lack of organization among the to-
bogganers. Last year there were
subscriptions by which the slide was
built, but these subscribers never
formed definite organization and
there never were any officers elected
or any persons authorized to act.
Now that the old slide has been
blown down, there is no one whose
business it is to care for the wreck or
provide for the rebuilding of the slide
in the same or any other location that
NAV be deemed desirable. To over
come this difficulty it is proposed to
hold a meeting at the engine house
tomorrow afternoon ut b o'clock, of
all subscribers to last years toooggan
fund and all who are interested in to-
bogganing to perfect an organization
and provide for having q toboggan
slide for the coming winter. Let
every person i'll the village who cares
to have a toboggan slide be on hand
tomorrow (Thursday) at the place
and hour named.

A Dining Car Line to the Pacific Ocean.

A Dining Car Line to the Pacific Ocean,
The Northern Pacific Railroad, the
only one of the transeontinental lines
running dining cars through to the
Pacific coast, announced new time
schedule taking effect Nov. 20, 1887.
The principal features of this new
schedule are:
First. Twelve hours quicker time
from st. Paul to Helena and Butte,
Montana, and twenty-four hours
shorter to Portland, Ore, Tacoma.
w. r., and all North Pacific coast
points, by the limited express leaving
ST. Paul at p. M. daily. The time
of No. 2, the corresponding train
east bound, Will be shortened seven-
teen hours.
Second. An additional through ex.
press train, to which will be attached
Pullman sleepers, dining cars and
emigrant sleepers, leaving st. P"ul
at 8 A. NJ. daily, for Helena, Butte,
Missoula, Spokane Falls and Eastern
Washington points; this train MAX
ing the through time five hours
quicker than the former Pacific coast
express, giving the intended Pacific
coast settler fourteen hours quicker
time than heretofore.
Third. Three express trains daily
from st. Paul and Minneapolis to
Moorhead, Mimi, Fargo and James
town, d. T., with through Pullman
sleepers to Grand Forks, Fergus Falls
Whapeton and principal points in
North Dakota.
The Northern Pacific not only of
ters to the travelling public the best
train service, including its famous
dining cars, Pullman palace drawing
room and sleeping cars, emigrant
sleepers and splendid day coaches,
but from Chicago and all Eastern
cities to Portland, Ore, as quick time
as by any other route, while to Butte
and Helena, Mont, it is the shortest
line by one hundred and seventy-six
and three hundred and sixty-six
miles respectively, actually saving
the traveller to Butte six hours, and
to Helena, eighteen hours, as against
any other line.
The great reduction in time will be
of particular interest to all classes of
travel, especially Yellowstone Park
and Pacific coast cxcursionists con-
templating return trip by the all
rail Iine-the "Mt. Shasta" route
between San Francisco and Portland,
and a trip along the Columbia river
or over the famous Cascade noun
rains via the Northern Pacific.

Money TO be Made

It is ssid that dull times are not
known by the agents for (the great
publishing house of George Stinson &
Co., Portland, Maine. The reason of
this exceptional success is found in
the fact that they always give the
public that which is keen1y apprecia-
ted and at prices that all can afford.
At present we understand, their
agents are doing wonderfully we'll on
several new lines. They need many
more agents In all parts of the country.
Those who need profitable work
should apply at once. Woman do as
we'll as men. Experience is not
necessary, for Messrs. Stinson & Co.
undertake to show all who are will
ing to work, not hard but earnestly,
the path to large success. It should
be remembered that an agent can do
hansome business without being
away from home over night. Another
advantage- it costs nothing to give
the business a trial, and an agent can
devote all his time, or only his spare
moments to il. Stinson & Co. guar
antee grand success to all who en4
gage and follow simple and plain di-
recti0ns thattheY give. We have
not space to explain all here, but full
particulars will be sent tree to those

The Farmer of st. Paul has no
equal among the weekly agricultural
papers of the country for the people
of the Northwest. It's columns are
filled with the agricultural news Of

ports, choice literature, wholesome
discussions of household topics, etc.
The Farmer bears unmistakable evil
dence of careful editorial supervision
in every department., and in its edi-
torial discussions of the topics of the
day it is broad, intelligent and candid
It is literally illustrated, and is

paper. In price, $3.50 pei year, it is
as cheap as any first class weekly
paper can be furnished, and that is
the only cheap thing about it. In

Every newspaper man will recog-
nize the truthfulness of this from the
Caste Rock Bugle: ''Thcrc is To be
found in nearly every community n
class of persons who are always
watching newspaper for some cause
Of offense. If 1t strike others they
care little or nothing; if it flatters
themselves they are pleased, but take
1t as matter of course; but if 1t re-
fleets in the slightest manner upon
any of their doings, though 1t be in
the fairest terms, they become sulky
and go off at tangent. They never
seem to understand that newspaper,
to be of any value, must be impartial
and fearless in its treatment of ques-
tions of principle, and that it cannot
devote all its time and attention to
pattlng selfconscious people on the
back and smoothing their fur. A
newspaper of wide circulation deals
with an entire community, and can
not stop to chuck every scl:-worshiper
under the chin. or to tickle every
vain soul in order to see ii wriggle
